Mother of Runesprotection$8.32One of the closest functional cousins to Devoted Caretaker: a one-mana white utility creature that protects your permanents or creatures with a tap ability. It offers broader protection from a chosen color instead of only instants and sorceries.Giver of Runesprotection$10.09A stronger modern version of repeatable protection on a one-mana white creature. It protects a creature from colorless or from a chosen color, making it a strict upgrade in many decks.Selfless Saviorprotection$7.57A cheap white protection creature that helps save your board from removal. It is narrower because it sacrifices itself for one creature, but it fills a similar defensive role.Alseid of Life's BountyprotectionBudget$0.22Another one-mana white protection creature that can shield a key permanent or creature. It is more versatile in colorless auras/equipment decks and can also be sacrificed for value.Benevolent BodyguardprotectionBudget$0.29Provides one-shot protection by sacrificing itself, similar to how Devoted Caretaker buys time against removal. It is cheaper in functional cost but less repeatable.Dauntless BodyguardprotectionBudget$0.16A white creature-based protection spell that can preserve an important creature from removal or combat. It is creature-specific rather than permanent-wide, but plays a similar safeguarding role.Skrelv, Defector Miteprotection$2.62A modern protection utility creature that can grant targeted protection and help force through key permanents or attackers. It has a similar support role, though it protects only non-Phyrexian creatures and not against instants/sorceries specifically.Nomads en-KorprotectionBudget$0.65A classic one-mana white defensive creature that can repeatedly redirect damage away from your creatures. While it works differently, it serves a similar protection-and-survival function in white utility shells.
